Privacy Notice

Throughout this Policy, we refer to your "personal information" which means information which identifies you as an individual or from which your identity can be reasonably ascertained. Your home address and home telephone number are examples of personal information.

We will post any changes to this Website Privacy Notice on the Website, so we encourage you to check this Website Privacy Notice from time to time.

In addition to the provisions of this Website Privacy Notice, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of the Website. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Website Privacy Notice and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.

You may browse this Website without providing any personal information. We may collect personal information from you if you send us an email.

In common with many commercial websites we may also collect aggregated information which tells us about visitors to the Website but not the identity of those visitors. For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of visits and which pages of the Website are most commonly accessed. This information is used by us to help to administer and improve the Website.

The Website does not use "cookies", small text files which are placed on your hard drive by some websites to store information.

We may share personal information with Freehills partnership and its associated Australian entities and correspondent offices overseas. We may also share personal information with your professional advisers, organisations with whom we have co-promotional arrangements (and any third parties used in administering those arrangements) and other service providers including organisations that assist us by providing archival, auditing, consulting, mailhouse, delivery, technology and security services.

In addition to providing our services (including legal, training and consulting services) to you, we may use or disclose personal information that we collect about you:

• for the purposes for which it was collected;
• where you have consented to the use or disclosure;
• to maintain our relationship with you;
• for purposes related to Greenwoods & Freehills' research, planning, service development, security and risk management;
• where a third party acquires or wishes to acquire, or makes inquiries in relation to acquiring, an interest in Greenwoods & Freehills; or
• to the extent that we are required or authorised by law to do so.

We may also use your personal information to keep you informed of our services, events, developments in the law and other matters. If you do not wish to be contacted for those purposes, please let us know using the contact details set out below. We aim to provide you with information and invitations that we consider may be of interest or relevance to your business.

The Website may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of other organisations which may be of interest to you. Linked websites are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy statements.

We use a number of mechanisms to protect the security and integrity of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So while we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once any personal information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

If you wish to request access to any personal information which we hold about you as a result of our information collection practices outlined in this Website Privacy Notice, please contact us using the "Contact details" set out below. Please provide as much detail as you can about the particular information you seek, in order to help us retrieve it. An access fee may be charged to cover our costs of providing the information to you.

If you have any questions or feedback about privacy, or wish to make a complaint about the way in which we have handled your personal information, you may contact us as set out below:
